The development, and ending, of the entire series is an insult to Alewxandre Dumas' classic.
That adaptation along with the 2002 American version are the two worst adaptations of the book. And the film The Prisoner of Château d'If (1988) by Georgi Yungvald-Khilkevich is the best version..
Viktor Avilov may not be as handsome as Willaim Levy and Jim Caviezel, but The Prisoner of Château d'If's screenplay is far superior to those two adaptations put together.
The screewriters may have tried to transport the story to the present day, but not only did they do that, they completely rewrote the story. No screenwriter is better than Alexandre Dumas.
Perhaps William Levy's fans praised the story of the series because of the author's beauty, but I want to see how they will do to praise this series, which is terrible.
The count of Monte of Monte Cristo would be a mixture of The Odyssey by Homer with Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky. With the redemption of the protagonist who regrets his revenge and forgives, he has a new beginning with Haydee just as Raskonilkov had with Sonia.
The film the three musketeers by Martin Bourboulon, based on another classic by Alexandre Dumas, no matter how many defects this adaptation has, this version manages to be much better.
